Rapid urbanization and the growing world population significantly deteriorates the drainage system day by day. By the year 2025, an increase of 2.6 billion from the projected world population is expected and more than 65% of it will come from the urban areas. As the population increases, the demand for an efficient drainage system also increases. Therefore, without initiative to solve various issues on water management and drainage systems in most parts of the world, it is expected that more than half of the current world population will have no access to effective and efficient ways of wastewater disposal in the future.In most parts of the world, poor management and maintenance of various drainage systems by the responsible authorities has really affected the efficiency and effectiveness of these systems. Population re-densification in various urban areas and inappropriate use of various components of drainage systems has led to different issues of poor drainage systems such as overflowing manholes and sewers in major cities across the street areas that mainly results in the degradation of the surroundings and eventual destruction of the water flow paths in the cities. The purpose of this book is to offer important insights and provide basic reference about various aspects of drainage systems. This book incorporates all the relevant information that can be used by students and educators (in different fields such as science in civil and construction engineering, environmental planning and management, urban and regional planning, and quantity surveying among other courses), as well as public and private environmental management sector. This book comprises ten chapters. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the present state of management of drainage systems in most parts of the world. One of the key topic that is mainly discussed in this chapter are the various types of water drainage systems (such as surface drainage system, subsurface drainage system, slope drainage system, and gutter drainage system) and how they relate with other elements of drainage systems. Chapter 2 discusses on matter concerning evaluation of inappropriate discharges on drainage systems. An important topic discussed entirely in this chapter is the assessment of stormwater drainage system. Chapter 3 looks at the management of stormwater drainage system and Chapter 4 explores the irrigation and drainage system. Chapter 5 tackles management of highway and pavement drainage systems. In this chapter, the impacts identification of poor highways and pavement drainage system is discussed in detail. Chapter 6 talks about the challenges of poor drainage system in slum residences. There are several steps discussed towards the end of the chapter that touches on approaches in solving drainage system problems of grey water and stormwater in slums areas. Chapter 7 provides an overview management of sewage drainage systems. Other chapters, chapter 8, chapter 9, and chapter 10 explore on the flooding and drainage systems, planning and design of surface drainage system, and the trend of wastewater management and drainage systems in developing countries (Africa), respectively. The collection of efforts that was put in preparation of this book may not serve as a complete picture of the myriad dimensions on management of drainage system, but rather reflects on some of the difficulties and tensions faced by science and technology in accommodating the idea of drainage systems (based on principles, perspectives, and practice), especially while navigating in the various economic, political, social, and environmental demands and concerns for scarce and usually highly variable services.

This book is designed to teach the thought and techniques of basic Matrix alge¬bra as a precise mathematical subject. Besides computational adeptness, there is an emphasis on uptake definitions and theorems, as well as reading, understand¬ing and creating proofs. A strictly logical organization, complete and exceed¬ingly detailed proofs of every theorem, suggestion on techniques for reading and handwriting proofs, and a variety of challenging theoretical exercises evidence slowly provide the novice with the tools and certainty to be able to study other mathematical topics in a rigorous fashion.In many respects this book is design for beginners. It combines an illustration hearted approach, well rounded explanations and wealth of practice opportuni¬ties. It makes a form friend for those students who are commencing a circuit in Matrix Algebra at school or for undergraduate series in Mathematics, Engineer¬ing or Physics.Applications of matrices are found in different scientific fields. In every field of physics, including classical mechanics, optics, electromagnetism and electrody¬namics, they are used to study physical phenomena, such as the motion of rigid bodies. In computer graphics, they are used to manipulate 3D ideal and project them onto a 2-dimensional screen. Matrix calculus generalizes classical analyti¬cal notions such as derivatives and exponentials to higher dimensions. Matrices are used in economics to describe systems of economic relationships.Matrix calculations can be often performed with different techniques. Many problems can be solved by either direct algorithms or iterative approaches. For example, the eigenvectors of a square matrix can be obtained by discovery a sequence of vectors x_n converging to an eigenvector when n tends to infinity. Perhaps by providing a concise insight into where these concepts came from, how they were revealed, and how their uses in the past relate to how they are presently used and taught may offer students with the extra understanding they need to put these concepts to use, whether it be as measuring procedure, or as functions. With this better insight, one would be able to see the value in study¬ing trigonometry as an element of mathematics, instead of an isolated unit from the subject.This book aims to help the readers understand the wonderful world of Matrix Algebra, to enlighten them on how this subject having worth in real world problems.

Welcome to the beginning of this book -- an algebra book that shows and explains further topics than those that are covered in a primary course on linear algebra. Such course usually leaves the student with the question "Why in the world do I have to go through linear algebra?" which is absolutely understandable. Algebra, and other sciences in general, are not entities that one just needs to pass as a course. Sciences are masters that stay with you and are always there whenever you need them, that in some occasions we do not understand that those masters are something else.Before talking about the importance of algebra, let us first clear some details about this text. This book does not only contain a set of complicated equations with heavy definitions about abstract entities and problems that arise in several fields of mathematics, which in many other texts, makes you feel like you're reading Mandarin. This book also contains clear and deductive explanations from different perspectives about those set of complicated equations, with the hope of making them accessible and easy to assimilate for the reader. Algebra is the science of representing life through equations while keeping it simple. The reason for writing this book was, at first, the decision to spread knowledge of such a great science that is usually feared by many young students and ignored by others, when in reality Algebra is a body of knowledge so beautiful within itself, as well as necessary dealing with or approaching many mathematical situations. As this book is being developed, another reason to continue to write it arose - there is a lack of easy-to-understand texts, which are supposed to be the high end books that today's generation are obligated to read, in order to understand the subjects they should know to continue their formation in their respective careers.This book is dedicated to those who really want to learn linear algebra. But be warned, the journey is not promised to be easy as it will require dedication, honesty and time from the reader; but the journey will also be nurturing and revealing in the sense that at the end of each chapter, the reader will be able to say "I've got it!" in much the same way when Archimedes said "Eureka!" which means "I've found it!" In addition, this book also contains techniques and algorithms, along with their derivations and examples, which are used in the real world, thus helping the reader become a well prepared professional.Many texts, articles and lessons were used as resources for this book, however, the most used resource in the development of this text was common sense. You see, mathematics is a free science, a body of knowledge that anyone can derive on its own. This book is just a compendium of the works of many mathematicians through the centuries, making it possible for humankind to get to where it is today. And as life goes on, it is probable that further developments, researches and advances will continue. That was one of the main ideas in the background while writing this text -- to make the reader able to fully understand as much knowledge in linear algebra as possible, especially those concerning methods and algorithms that arose in the twentieth century.Just as a brief comment, the first chapter of this book is dedicated to making certain topics clear to avoid confusion, and answering questions that usually arise during the first course in linear algebra. The rest of the chapters are more advanced and developed.

Development of land resources in a sustainable manner requires the integration of economic, environmental and social policies and their implementation in a mutual reinforcing manner. The concept of "sustainable development" was mainly disseminated as a long-term oriented policy by the World Commission on Environment and Development under the "Our common future" report sub¬mitted in the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1987. Sustainable development of land resources can be defined as development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations of meeting their own needs (Brundtland Commission)". The developmental mea¬sures appropriated in a sustainable way are associated with the human activities that ensure the harmony of social, economic and ecological balance.The high growth rate of human population in many of the developing nations is putting growing pressure on the finite land resources. This is a major cause of land degradation. Desertification, droughts and depletion of natural resources affect more than 2 billion people across the globe, where it is estimated that this situation might worsen due to the unsustainable practices of soil and wa¬ter under the present scenario of climatic changes. The potential risks arising from the violation of sustainable principles are sometimes hard to conceive in the present situation. Nonetheless, the concussion of harmful and unsustainable activities of humans might hurt the habitants even more badly and can influence the survival of future generations. This book covers a wide range of sustainable developmental measures which work towards a common goal of achieving sus¬tainable pattern of development by envisaging different uses of land resources, the planning of land-use patterns, the formation of policies towards the equi¬table distribution of land and addressing the challenges while supporting the development of land resources.The topics of this book are diverse where introductory chapters provide an in¬sight of land-related definitions, the future trends related to land resources and give an overview of cause-problem-symptom relationship. They provide a brief description of the services of ecosystem and extent of the land practices along with the planning of watershed management. Further, a lot of attention has been paid to the challenges in sustainable management of land resources that throw light on the key issues of water management and climatic adaptations that can be resolved through the implementation of an integrated approach. Lead¬ing chapters of the book provide a glimpse on the promotion of sustainable management along with the planning of resource utilization by devising long term planning of environmental goods and services in a cost-effective manner. The objective is to promote international cooperation and develop a framework which entails the response against the climatic conditions through the applica¬tion of multi-dimensional and focused goals.In accordance with the above outline, the book gives a detailed description of innovations in the administration of land management by detailing the needs for continuous change and formation of innovation platforms that facilitate the conduct of land management. Aligning with the same structure, the tools and approaches for the assessment of sustainable development illustrate the steps involved under this approach while screening the evaluation and conduct of management process. The concluding chapters of this book scrutinize the cli¬matic changes and their major challenges while going through the phase of development of resources followed by the mitigation and adaptation of strate¬gic policies to overcome these dramatic situations. Lastly, it delivers the major objectives and scope of sustainable land management by describing the major objectives of holistic approach in framing the policy, conducting research and development, sharing knowledge and providing incentives for financing the de¬velopmental projects.The main objective of this book is to guide the reader on the development of land resources in a sustainable manner by maintain the ethical aspects of sustainable management, application and implementation of required policy reforms and technological upgradations, revised approaches for risk management, assess¬ment of unsustainable practices so as to intelligently support the sustainable development in the global context.
